Director Boyapati Srinu has got reputation of giving hits like Bhadra, Tulasi and Simha. First time he is presenting Junior NTR surprising his fans. Producer Vallabah called Dammu as a family entertainer. Let us see the highlights of film.


Performance & Analysis:

Junior NTR is extra ordinary and given powerful performance than his old movies. Dialogue delivery is superb with political satires on Congress. Trisha is good and Karthika got small role. She is also good. Kota, Naasser, Suman and others were natural. Director Boyapati Srinu reached the expectations of audience in presenting NTR. Screenplay is the strength of movie. As many scenes in second half are of high range with adrenaline pumping. Keeravani songs and background is super. Stunts composed by Ram Lakshman Masters were powerful. Editing, camera work and dialogues came out well.



Verdict: NTR's performance, dialogues, music, screenplay, interval bang, climax andTrisha, Karthika's glamour fill the film with lots of crowd pulling elements. No way fans will be disappointed with this flick and this film, for sure will generate huge revenue. We have to wait and see how general audience receive the film Stay tune for complete movie review.

Young Tiger NTR’s mass emotional drama ‘Dhammu’ has hit the screens today in a big way and the movie has Boyapati Sreenu as the director. Trisha and Kartheeka are the heroines in this movie and Keeravani has scored the music. Alexander Vallabha has produced the movie on Creative Commercials banner. Let us see how the film is.

Story :

Vijay (NTR) is an orphan who leads a simple life along with his friend (played by Ali). He falls in love with Ashwini (Trisha), who is a very rich girl. Ashwini imposes a condition that Vijay’s family history and pedigree are very important. At this very moment, Vijay comes to know that a rich and powerful royal family is on the lookout to adopt a heir and Vijay seizes the chance. But once he goes there, he realizes that things are not as simple as they seem. The family has a violent past and a bitter dispute with another powerful family (headed by Nasser). He also realizes that thousands of people in the area are now dependent on him for their very survival. Vijay does not like violence and he tries his best to solve the problems peacefully. But the rival gang does not give him a chance.

What does Vijay do? Does he shoulder the family’s burdens and solve the problems ? And does Ashwini really love him? This forms the rest of the story.

Plus Points :

NTR’s performance is outstanding and he has delivered a highly charged performance after a long time. His intense screen presence, powerful dialogue delivery and impressive action sequences will keep fans and mass movie lovers happy. He looks impressive in the second half once he dons Khaddar and he completely steals the show. Tarak is a superb dancer and he once again proves this with this film.

Trisha looks good and she has performed well. But she has surprisingly little to do. Kartheeka is impressive with her dialogues and her performance will click big time with front benchers. Kota Srinivasa Rao has performed well. Venu is impressive and he entertains in his small role. Ali is good as NTR’s sidekick.

Nasser and Bhanupriya steal the show. They are classy actors and they really elevate the impact of key scenes with their balanced performance. Nasser in particular is surprisingly good as the cruel villain. Suman is ok.

The film has some superb emotional sequences and they will work big time with the audience. The interval block is superb and there are some good twists in the storyline. Special mention must be made of fight sequences and Keeravani’s rousing background score. Especially, the fight shot in the mud is very good.

First half is very fast paced and there is good entertainment, provided mostly by NTR and Ali.

Minus Points :

The story is quite routine and there is no novelty in that aspect. The romantic track between Trisha and NTR is very superficial and it could have been handled slightly better. Trisha’s role is not very well etched. Same goes for the track involving Kartheeka and NTR. Except for some double meaning dialogues, there is nothing substantial in her characterization.

Brahmanandam is wasted in a poor role.

The tempo goes down to a certain extent in the second half and the momentum is kept alive only by the good action sequences. The placement of the song ‘Vastu Bagunde’ could have been better.

Screenplay could have been better in the second half as the required punch goes down to a certain extent.

Technical Aspects :

Cinematography is good and visuals have been captured well. Editing is neat. Rathnam’s dialogues are entertaining and they will work big time with front benchers and fans. There are hints in the dialogues about NTR’s future political aspirations and we have to see how this will be received by non fans. Keeravani’s music is excellent and his wok with the background score is highly impressive.

Fights have been choreographed in a highly entertaining manner and they are good. Dances are impressive as in all NTR films. Production values are rich and the expenditure can be seen in the visuals.

Boyapati’s direction is impressive and screenplay is very good in the first half. Things go down a bit in the second half.

Verdict :

‘Dhammu’ will work well with fans and mass movie lovers. We have seen a highly charged performance from Tarak after a long time and he carries the film completely on his shoulders. Good action sequences, dialogues and sentiment will work well at the Box office. On the flip side, tempo goes down a bit in the second half and care should have been taken here. Overall, Dhammu is a high voltage entertainer that can be enjoyed this holiday season.

Story:
Dammu is the story of young lad, Vijaya Simha of Vasi Reddy clan who believes that a man’s life is a superior gift of life but he is born in a family and region where Sword is necessary to do justice to his people. How hard he tries to solve the problem with non-violence, he always gets through a road block. Finally, he resorts to the path of ‘eye for an eye’ to eliminate evil and restore peace and prosperity in the land.

Performances:
NTR stood out as always as the outstanding performer. His characterization has the uniqueness to portray all the ‘Nava Rasas’ required for an actor. And he delivered it in style and grace. His dialogue delivery is awesome as always. Adding fuel to fire, Boyapati and dialogue writer Ratnam managed to bring out perfect dialogues to enthrall fans.
Trisha is okay looks wise and Karthika had delivered good performance. Karthika’s over height will remain a back drop for her career. Venu, Suman, Bhanu Priya, Nasser and Kota Srinivasa Rao delivered matured performance. Brahmanandham and Ali managed few laughs.

Technical Analysis:
Boyapati Sreenu had joined the race of Top directors with his earlier movie, Simha. However, he did not try to continue the same blue print in Dammu. The movie is perfect blend of action and sentiment. However, he had faltered a bit in the screenplay with the movie losing pace in the second half. Editor Kotagiri Venkateswar Rao must be held responsible for the second half too..Cinematography by Arthur Wilson is good. Art work by Nagender is superb.
Take a bow MM Keeravani! Your songs and back ground music had enhanced the rage in action sequences binding audience to the story.

Highlights:
1. NTR’s Performances(If you did not compare with Balakrishna)
2. Numerous Dialogues penned by Boyapati and Ratnam drew huge response.
3. Dances in O Lilly and Vastu Bagunde songs
4. Keeravani’s BGM
5.Interval bang is one of the major highlights of the movie.
6. Emotional scenes between Bhanu Priya and NTR

Drawback:
1. Slow second half
2. Picturization of Ruler song
3. Both the heroines do not have it in them to attract the masses

Box Office Verdict:
The movie has got tremendous positive reports before the release. All the hype of ‘another Simha’ might do damage to the movie. However, audience who watch it with fewer expectations can enjoy the movie. The movie is expected to do well in terms of openings. The long run will depend on the family audience who have ample dose of sentiment.

Bottom line: Treat for fans

NTR does it this time round, Dammu is tailor made for him and all his work, dances, fights are an absolute treat to watch, he adds the extra zing to the songs. No matter how dismissive you are of such formula films, you cannot help but sit back and watch NTR deliver a thorough entertainer. Good work again Boyapati for trimming the frills and keeping it balanced again.
